"WOLF MAN" TRIBUTE TO LON CHANEY, JR.

By Film Threat Staff | December 17, 2000

“The Wolf Man” is the 1941 classic horror film that follows Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney, Jr.) on a journey to his ancestral home in Wales. He meets up with a gypsy girl who is terrorized by a fellow camp member, and the evil villain, it seems, has become a wolf. Larry is eventually able to kill the monster, but not before being bitten himself…
Using archived film footage and materials from a supportive Chaney estate, Sideshow Toys has created an homage to Chaney and his classic role with their soon-to-be-released 12″ “Wolf Man” figure. The doll comes equipped with a movie-accurate wolf trap, as well as a log standing base. The new 12″ won’t hit shelves until [ March of 2001 ] , but you can find out the latest details over at the always-informed [ Raving Toy Maniac site. ]
